Due to the harsh ocean conditions, the South African coast is not a traditional diving destination, although Sodwana Bay is a famous spot for experienced divers. From May to July, there is also the famous Sardine Run off the coast of Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, attracting divers who wish to witness the phenomenon. For those who prefer warmer waters, we recommend the traditional diving destinations in the region: Mauritius, Reunion, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Madagascar, Maldives and Mozambique, which also suit less experienced divers. And for those seeking an unusual diving destination with unique features, beautiful Lake Malawi is an option to consider.
